The Weekly Florists' Review* 



WASHINGTON. 



About one mile to the right of Good 

 Hope hill and two miles from the city 

 on that beautiful ridge that fallows the 

 Potomac is the home of our largest and 

 most successful grower of violets, Mr. 

 Theodore Deidrich. A farm of about 

 fifteen acres surrounds his house, and 

 what is not utilized in violets has not 

 gone to waste in weeds. 



About two acres are taken up in 

 chrysanthemums and violets, the 

 former planted in the field and not in- 

 tended to be put under cover. The vio- 

 lets are planted in beds to be framed 

 later, and are roofed in with a board 

 frame with boards on top about four 

 inches apart, and the whole still fur- 

 ther shaded by branches of trees 

 thrown over and hung around the 

 east, west and south side«, the whole 

 raised about five feet from the plants. 

 The first impression would be to find 

 weak and drawn plants grown in so 

 much shade. On the contrary they are 

 vigorous, and free from spot. 



From about five hundred sash (I 

 think I have given about the quantity 

 of sash used including two houses), he 

 cut six hundred thousand blooms the 

 past year. These represent only first 

 class "flowers and those actually sold. 

 Marie Louise, Campbell and Farquhar 

 are the varieties grown, not so many 

 of the latter in comparison to the first 

 two varieties. 



Along this ridge is Mr. Gude's estab- 

 lishment. He has given his entire 

 plant a coat of paint on the inside. 

 His young roses are doing nicely, 

 though have not been planted but a 

 short time. In shaded frames he has 

 an excellent lot of cyclamen in 3-inch 

 pots. For his first attempt in this line 

 he has been very successful. 



The mums are planted in the field for 

 *pot plants. He never grows them 

 along in pots, but plants them out and 

 lifts early in August. Three houses 

 are used for these, for cut flowers; 

 though recently benched they are very 

 strong and promising. 



The day was an exceedingly hot one 

 when I called, yet I found the force 

 hard at work cleaning under the 

 benches and wherever dirt had ac- 

 cumulated. 



Messrs. Thos. Field and J. H. Small, 

 Sr., have sailed for Europe. 



Mr. W. R. Smith remains in about 

 the same condition, with hemorrhages 

 continually. W. H. K.
